mytouch low call volume fix update zip

Nothing spectacular here, just these files packaged up in an update style zip for easier installation. Just keep this on your sdcard, and whenever you flash a new rom flash this straight afterwards.
audiofix.zip

Thanks man! This is just what I asked for =D

Lifesaver...
Ahhh, thanks. I always thought I was just a soft spoken ole lad. But when I received an urgent booty call late last night from this girl and she couldn't hear my response to her urges...she gave me the DT (Dial Tone)
With his, I shall redeem myself. Wish me luck, I will PTP! (Pound That Pearl)

thanks man! appreciate it

Thank you, had a problem where people could barely hear me, ran this and all is fixed! Used it on the Super-D rom.

Apparently this happens a lot, I had no idea why people could not hear me. I don't know why this isn't being correct on some of the more popular roms on xda

Surely you should credit Meltus for his work..?
I assume it's his anyway as I haven't seen anyone else playing with audio..

thanks for the zip bud

can i use these on a g1? i have this stupid problem sometimes where people can hear me but i cant hear them, so its sooo annoying.

No these audio files are for the Magic only, they use different audio files. You can find audio hacks in Meltus's thread.

I've no idea to be honest, I just grabbed the files from the post I linked and put them in an update.zip.
They could also be the original audio files from a stock magic rom.
If anyone knows where these particular files come from let me know and I'll update the op to give credit where it's due

I'm running King's Sense v1.1 and I struggle to hear people even when the volume is at the most. Will this fix it or does this just increase THEM hearing you?

Bamboozling SMS Issue...

I've struggled with this issue for days now... Maybe somebody can help.
I'm dropping most of my text messages. I can successfully send them, but I do not receive them.
I figured it was a problem with SuperbadCM 1.5, because the problem seemed to begin after I updated to 1.5. I've tried downgrading, flashing after a wipe, removing LauncherPro (memory issues?)... nothing fixed it. Then I tried the latest CM5.0.8t2 on a clean wipe, no good, and even flashed an old nandroid of King's 1.5 sense rom... still no message.
What could be the issue? AFAIK everything else works.
I doubt it matters, but I'm using a G1 latest radio and dangerspl. I'm not sure if a logcat of this is possible, but I'll provide whatever info necessary. Thanks for your help. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

if you know what rom it is from would it not make more sense to post in that rom thread and or use SEARCH to find if others witht he same rom are having the same issues and know of a fix....

have you tried a different rom? maybe an eclair 2.1 perhaps??

I've had the very same issue on DangerSPL. I'd recommend using Firerat's AnySPL Patch on Cyan's mod while using stock/Hard/Engineering SPLs.

makes sense, because the issue probably lies on a lower level than the rom. I'll try this now, thank you.

I flashed HardSPL over 2.22.23.02, then Firerat's AnySPL CM5.0.8t1. I'm still not getting text messages... Any other ideas? This is a pretty serious issue for me :/ what's most confusing is the problem occurred months after it was working fine.

If the problems still occurs, you may want to contact your service provider about this problem.

Looks like this is the only solution... I appreciate your input, thanks

What country are you in? I'll bet its the hsxpa and gprs class settings.

Also, you pretty much answered your own question in the first post, it happened after you went to a specific ROM, there's something wrong with it's settings.

It's all right. There was a time when the opposite-sex didn't want to text me back either!
Mmm. Mommys making me ribs! Anyone want some?
And HEY! Just because most of my posts are pointless, doesn't mean you can flame me!
But ehh. I'm on SuperBad and don't have this problem... hmm?

I have no idea where this post is going...
But I got the problem sorted out... Proto was right, apparently I had a bad sim card somehow and got it swapped out. It wasn't the spl or any rom.
I think I let myself forget this is the internet -_- 1/9000 people are brilliant, the rest are hostile and dumber than bricks.

OH HEALLLL NO! YOU DID NOT JUST TALK TO MY G1 LIKE THAT!

Did you try handcent sms? It has a workaround to an android bug that leads to sms loss when there's not enough memory available.

Yup. Baby steps. Last time this happened to me it was a network issue in my area and just had to wait it out. Any time I'm having SMS issues, I always call to see if the network is jacked up before heading another direction.
Did you not get a notification of a bad SIM? I thought these phones would have been able to detect a bad SIM... At any rate, I'm glad you got it fixed up.

Your's was a pointless statement. You didn't even ask a question. Are you having problems making calls, or getting data, or does it just bother you that only 1 bar is showing? How do other phones behave in the same location? Did it work with the factory firmware?
The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that!"

You need to give a lot more info than "1.6 something" for anyone to help. Just FYI, every radio on the Thunderbolt right now is "1.6 something." Also, you have one bar, but has it been better on the other radio? Does it drop in and out? Do you have data, or only affecting voice calls? What is your actual signal reading (in dbm)? Did you flash anything recently?
Kinda weird that you would give no info and get upset when no info is given back.

My radio is 1.1600_W1
The other radios are
1.12
And the leaked is 1.13
I flashed adrynalnye kernal test A.zip
Got 6-5 bars now.

My mistake. Glad you got it working. For reference, do you remember what kernel you were on when you had signal issues?

I'm not sure which kernel it was sorry.

Hissing when audio starts

So not sure what's up, using that icecream fake rom and OC kernel, and I hear audio hissing most noticible through headphones when there is a noise, there is a hissing going on. It stops after audio stops though, not sure what's up.
I don't know if my rom and kernel are related to this, may have been here before? Anyone else notice this?

Try putting different rom and see the issue is still there cauz I been running ice cream rom with faux123's kernel and never had single problem like this.

Guess my phone is broken?
Also tried returning the ICS one to stock same problem. Also tried it on my hd595 headphones, same problem.
I should mention it does it on the speakers as well, but it's much less noticible.

Do factory reset and if its still bad than you have bad hardware.

By factory reset do you mean like unroot and all?

Well try out stock rom first and if you still have problem than i am pretty sure its ur phone but going stock won't hurt because you would be returning them any way.

It's not your ROM its he audio chip in the phone. There is a thread in skyrocket general where we have been discussing it.
Only workaround is bluetooth or higher quality headphones kinda mask it.

Wait so all phones do this? But I mean it's so loud... well there is a tiny scratch on it too, might as well replace it anyway.
I can't use bluetooth headphones though because I have an icontrolpad and I don't think it can connect to multiple audio devices. Oh well, I don't use it for heavy music stuff, but I mean it's just really loud that hissing.

Nothing, you either ignore it or go bluetooth

Yup, just some of us notice it and others don't. I forget about it unless I try to hear for it. If it's extremely loud I'd get a replacement

So replaced it, same problem. Oh well, but I mean I guess you can ignore it, but hissing bugs me, not enough to not love this phone though.
Even have LTE in Pleasanton.
Thx fags for help anyway

Horrible call quality

Hey all,
Everything was fine and dandy with calls being loud and clear, until about a few days ago.
One day the call quality from my side just randomly went from great to terrible.
I can hear the other side just fine, but from my side its really low-volume and barely hearable.
Things I've tried:
-Flashing different radios (25R,30O,33R,Find7, radio from the latest nightlies)
-Flashing different ROMs and kernels
-Switching network modes (LTE, 3g, 2g)
-Combinations of the above
If anyone has experience dealing with issues like this/knows anything to improve the call volume from my side, any help would be very much appreciated.

You are not alone, I've had similar issues. For me speaker phone still works perfect, its just my voice during a regular call that's terrible.

Yup, the speakerphone works great but its inconvenient.
Gutted to have such a basic function impaired.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed by the next OTA, which should be next week around Monday.

Same here. My call quality is really bad. When I am speaking on the phone I'm typically running around desperately trying to find a quieter place, with the phone held up to my left ear and a finger plugged right into my other ear, hunched over like Quasimodo in a desperate attempt to understand 50% of what the other person is saying.
I learned one thing from the OPO. You actually do get exactly what you pay for. Lesson learned. :good:

win
So, after updating to the latest version of vanir and re-flashing the 33R radio, my in-call volume magically got back to normal.
I wish everyone affected best of luck and patience :fingers-crossed:

OPO hype much more than the phone deserves. Not going to last long

@Kiahnlliya @jrior001 @latenightchameleon My in call audio volume from the earpiece is really very low & muffled. I think I am audible on the other end, coz haven't got any complaints from people talking to me. I am on stock 33R unrooted. This is really annoying & really hope I can get rid of this issue with a firmware upgrade.

You should try the latest cm nightlies, they've pushed a bunch of improvements to audio and volumes.

It's a very simple fix if rooted. You need to edit a value in mixer_paths.xml. Some custom ROMs increase the value.

No you'll need root or custom recovery to flash the zip unfortunately. Otherwise you will need to wait for your ROM to be updated. CM have merged this in their commits so hopefully if your on stock CM11S you'll see this in the next update.

thanks alot mate for the fix.

Hey i was having the same robotic voice on the reciever's side as well and i found a simple fix for it! just disable the "ok google" detection and delete your voice recording as well. It worked for me.. It might work for you as well.
